Lifeguard Survey Calls for Participants

A new survey launched by the Department of Kinesiology
at University of North Carolina- Charlotte aims to collect
information directly from lifeguards regarding their
responses to water-related incidents. The

results of the anonymous, multichoice survey will be
used to help various training agencies develop lifesaving
strategies based on factors such as environmental
conditions, how guards identify an emergency and the type
of equipment used. The American Red Cross urges guards to
complete the survey as soon as possible following an
incident. It can be accessed at water-rescue.uncc.edu and
will be available indefinitely.
